Hawaii: Twin Falls

After hearing from Jordan and Kellie that their favorite part of the road to Hana was the hike to Twin Falls only a couple miles into the journey, we decided it would be a great afternoon activity on Saturday since we had to be checked out of our hotel by noon and didn't need to be at the airport until 9pm.  We drove a few miles of the winding highway and pulled over at the Twin Falls stand to start the hike.

Many people were ordering drinks from the blue school bus at the trail head. We skipped the coconut juice but appreciated the facilities at the start of the hike and the awesome landscape.

We headed down the wide path and detoured a little bit to check out a rocky stream.

The vegetation was unreal, scaling to Jurassic at some points!

After crossing a stream and walking along a man-made wall, we reached the waterfall!

Others were swimming in the frigid water, but we decided to just enjoy the beauty from land.

We walked to another waterfall where people were swimming and a lady was meditatively playing a guitar, then headed back to the top.

This was a fun little hike and gave us a taste of the wonders that must await those who brave the road to Hana. With motion sickness running prevalently in our group, we didn't do the full road trip, but were glad to see this little piece of paradise.
